Abstract

Since the level of nutrients at which the optimum growth and efficiency of growth occurs, can provide the best economic returns, a study was conducted to estimate the effect of different levels of dietary energy on health and feed conversion efficiency in young growing goats.

Abstract

Growth efficiency in early stages of life of animals is an important factor in productive efficiency.The overhead charges of maintenance of animals till it reaches productive stage accounts for economic rearing of livestock. Smaller size animals like goats which give both milk and meat grow faster and attain 50 per cent mature weight in less than 8 to 9 months time.

Abstract

Extent of minimum net requirement of protein, which serves as a useful guide for proper protein nutrition of adult and non-producing animals, can be assessed from their endogenous urinary nitrogen (EUN) and metabolic faecal nitrogen (MFN) outputs.
